Can't open Archicad 9 project files using version 11, help.

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:19:08 GMT

Hello all,

As subject title, how do I open Archicad 9 Sole Project files with extension pne, using Archicad 11 software?

The help file noted the following,

ArchiCAD Projects (.pln, .pla, .bpn)
ArchiCAD 11 can open projects saved as ArchiCAD 9, 8.1 and 9. Solo Projects (.pln) are the main native document type of ArchiCAD. A .pln file includes all model data and the views generated for the project, as well as the default settings, attributes and library references. Solo Projects can be transformed into Teamwork Projects (.plp) by sharing them.

However, I can't seem to save under those extensions using my Archicad 9 Educational version.

Please help! Thank you!

Cheers

The Archicad 10 and Archicad 11 student versions cannot open Archicad 9 student version. I'm not really sure why

ArchiCAD 9 EDU save projects as PNE files, next educational versions (10 and 11) work with PLN files.

They gave up on the PNE format and made the educational programs compatible with the regular commercial format (but with a watermark activated).
